In this story, the year is 2055 and the main character is a rich man named Eckels. There are time machines, and he goes on a time safari to hunt down dinosaurs. He accidentally kills a butterfly, which messes up a lot of major things in the future. To fix the problems, the people working at the time safari place have to kill Eckels and try to fix the problems he created. Because Eckels messed up, I think letting anyone go into the past shouldn’t be allowed.
I think not everyone should be able to go into the past because it is too dangerous and could change how a lot of things happen. Different animals species could live or die because of something someone did in the distant past. Depending on which types of life are changed, different human families could disappear, and completely new ones to replace them. Or, if someone did something really bad, the human race could have evolved into an entirely different species.
Not only could going to the past change a lot of things in the future, but it could also be dangerous for the people who go into the past. In the story, Eckels thinks that he is safe and that he can take down a Tyrannosaurus Rex without any problems, but once he faces it in reality, he panics and wants to run away. But running away would cause even more problems. People who think they can handle going into the past but really can’t would be a problem. They would endanger themselves and others around them.
Some people might say that they would be really careful, and wouldn’t panic. But they haven’t went into the past before, and have no experience with time traveling. I think some people should be able to go, but they should be trained for a long time so they can be prepared. The company in the story had guides, but that didn’t work. Eckels still did something wrong and messed up the future. So having guides wouldn’t work. The only way would be to only allow professionals into the past.
